Lisa Douglas' "Hotscakes" - Green Acres - 1967

[@MrAitraining]

Opening credits on the toast and hotcakes. This show was so unique and hysterical.

[@michaelheery6303]

i wish there was a better word than HYSTERICAL i smile all over when i look at green acres,,,,,,,,,,,,,hahahah

I was a kid when it was on. We had a Black and White TV. Now to see it in color and on a HD TV is just wonderful.

this show was ahead of its time

[@Zeppolino100]

Eva was indeed delightful, but then so were so many characters! I loved Mr. Ziffel and his 'son' Arnold the pig, Mr. Haney with his delightfully irritating twang, Eb Dawson with his clueless enthusiasm, Sam Drucker, the philosopher-storekeeper, and Hank Kimball, who could never get things right!

[@rcnelson]

Oddly enough, Drucker was the sanest of them all, including Oliver.

[@mojo500100]

Looking back on these clips many years later, it's clear that Eva had the talent in the family---she deftly handles the dialogue and keeps the light mood of the show, beautifully. She should be remembered for that than just for being a 'Gabor'--

[@douglaskirk2543]

Thanks for these GREAT MEMORIES, still as Hysterical as when they were just broadcast then. Never knew what to expect next, AND learned all the different uses for her Hot Cakes . . . Just like Ellie May Clampet on the Beverly Hillbillies. My stomach is going to start hurting, like back then. To Quote Master Bob Hope "Thanks for the Memories" . . .

[@hebneh]

"Green Acres" began as a straightforward comedy series, but evolved into surrealism.

[@loge10]

Names on just long enough for their mothers to see them - just so funny!!! The gag credits were a hoot.

[@1musicxxx]

Flap Stacks, & Hot Jacks.. She was priceless!

[@ladyunique1843]

I love her clothes and colors....

[@silverwood6705]

The hotcake roof shingles are comedy gold! One of my favourite shows as a boy..

[@soylentteal]

She made the best hotscakes in Hootersville.

[@johnlinnon2629]

How could the actors keep from cracking up during filming? Kimball and Ziffel were the funniest, but they all had a different, whacky style that fit together. And Haney- oh man.

[@MerleOberon]

My favorite episode was when Lisa bought Oliver the satin overalls with the diamond buckles and he had to wear it. They were a great comedy team.

[@SashGirl34]

Funny as the farmers were all complaining about him wearing a different suit when he farms...and wanted him to where overalls. And FINALLY at the end of the episode he does (Not Lisa's expensive diamond ones) they were all wearing their suits. LOL.

[@sdacj]

Their chemistry was incredible, and their romantic scenes were pretty hot, too, especially for that era. Eddie and Eva were actually best friends in real life, which certainly helped onscreen.

[@chrisarseneault5617]

Namescakes! Lol. Green acres was one of the funniest silliest shows ever

[@jeffw1267]

I don't know why Oliver is griping about the coffee/tea. At least Lisa made pourable coffee this time.

[@SashGirl34]

It's like when she FINALLY made spaghetti correctly...but pours orange juice all over it as she was serving it for breakfast. And Oliver said he wanted 'orange juice' and being she takes everything literally...LOL

[@HENSLEYMB]

Her coffee would be good to tar the driveway.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

And she did a mean Zsa Zsa Gabor impersonation! The best one I've ever heard!

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

I liked the episode where Oliver used them as a head gasket for his car.

[@MolloRelax]

+DaveConleyPortfolio That was my best memory of the whole series too,as I had a friend whose father was a mechanic,and I used to hang around his garage ;and on occasion saw him install new gasket on vehicles. And when I saw that episode ...I laughed to tears for minutes on end.

[@ShatnerMethod]

Storekeeper: "Is something wrong?" Lisa: "My husband blew out his head basket". xD

That last line by Lisa is gold 😂

"You knew all I could do was speak Hungarian and do imitations Zsa Zsa Gabor"... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because she was Zas Zas Gabor. Eva wasn’t the star of this show. I remember! I only knew her from this show! Her name was big on the intro! I watched the re runs on Nick at Nite and I fell in love with the show.. now to see Eva’s name just don’t make sense at all!

[@hearttoheart4me]

"You knew when you married me that I couldn't cook, I couldn't sew and couldn't keep house. All I could do is talk Hungarian and do imitations of Zsa Zsa Gabor." That is the best line in these clips. I wonder what her sister Zsa Zsa thought about that.

What's not shown in Oliver's reply - when Lisa said Zsa Zsa Gabor, Oliver responded "who?"

I know it had to be funny, but I never understood why Lisa could only cook pankcakes, and how she even got them that way. She can't even make coffee. I could have brewed coffee when I was a child in the 1960s.

[@wardarcade7452]

[@HENSLEYMB]

Hotscakes was a running gag. Green Acres was so stupid, it was funny. Too bad the country type comedy shows were phased out. The networks wanted to attract the youth of that time being the hippi types.

[@elwoodblues9613]

"CBS canceled every show that had a tree in it." - Mr. Haney (actually Pat Buttram)

[@luisreyes1963]

Mark Hensley Guess CBS traded corn-fed comedy for Norman Lear's brand of communist indoctrination.

[@tilesetter1953]

That seems a contradiction since many hippies wanted to go back to nature or live off the land in communes. Problem was they didn't like the hard work.

[@HENSLEYMB]

The only thing hippies wanted to grow was marijuana.

[@HENSLEYMB]

Also, most hippies came from the urban areas. They didn’t have farming skills or knowledge.
